SECOND RECORD 
WALTON HEATH— FROM HEATHER AND FURZE TO TURF IN 9 MONTHS —BY THE 
CARTER SYSTEM. 
We had the honour to receive the following unsolicited testimonial from W. Herbert Fowler, Esq., 
President of the Club :— 
“21st December, 1903.—Now that the time has come when the work entrusted to you by the Walton Heath 
Golf Club is finished, I write to convey my thanks to you for the admirable way in which you have carried out a most 
difficult and almost new task. You have converted a waste of heath and -furze into a first-class 
18-hole golf links, and produced a splendid turf ‘through the green’ and putting greens, which promise to rank 
with the best in the country. All this has been carried out in the short space of 16 months, and I am convinced that it 
has been done at a minimum of expenditure. I trust this will not be your last undertaking of this nature, as I am 
certain no other firm could have produced so good a result. I wish also to convey my personal thanks to all the 
members of your firm for their uniform courtesy and consideration. I regret that our joint task is over, and shall always 
remember our connection with much pleasure.”—(Signed) W. HERBERT FOWLER, Walton Heath Golf Club, 
Walton-on-the Hill, Surrey. 
Note.— We cleared, ploughed, and sowed the whole of the 18-hole course and putting greens 
with Carters Tested Grass Seeds (1,200 bushels), laid water on to all the greens, and made 
roads, &c. Not a square foot of turf was employed.—J.C.&Co. 
The above conclusively proved that under the “ Carter Method ” true golfing turf of the 
finest description could be made on land in nine months. Since this successful club has 
been opened it has been our privilege to sow with Carters Tested Seeds thousands of acres 
for golfing purposes all over the World.
